Scary Thoughts or Scary Realities? - Victor Sharpe and Robert Vincent

by Victor Sharpe and Robert Vincent

If
Hillary Clinton should enter the Oval Office as president, just think
what will happen to the Supreme Court and America for generations.

If
Hillary Clinton should enter the Oval Office as president, just think
what will happen to the Supreme Court and America for generations.

Right
now, the balance of the Court is evenly divided between those whose
thoughts lean closer to those of the late Justice Scalia and those on
the opposite end of the spectrum, who would use the courts to impose the
agenda of the progressive left.

The
very nature of our government and our society will be fundamentally and
fatally impacted should Hillary Clinton become the next president. She
will select leftist justices to replace existing justices as they leave
the bench.

For
the first time in history, essential elements of the Bill of Rights
would be directly threatened. Freedom of speech would be targeted;
Hillary Clinton is on record as supporting legislation that would ban
criticism of Islam under the guise of "protecting religious freedom."

The
Second Amendment would be gutted, likely reinterpreted protecting only
the right to bear arms solely within the context of belonging to a
"well-regulated militia" (i.e., the National Guard or similar
organizations), a position long favored by the progressive left.

A
tectonic shift has occurred in the balance of power in the Middle East.
These changes are not in our favor and have resulted from the
disastrous policies of President Obama, who has deliberately engineered a
forced United States retreat from that vitally strategic region of the
world.

Kenneth
Timmerman, writing at FrontPageMag, points out that Turkey and Iran are
simultaneously moving toward Russia while Russia is expanding its
global military and strategic reach, all to the detriment of the United
States and our allies.

Nature
abhors a vacuum. America's military and political absence is
predictably being filled by autocratic and dictatorial powers, which
harbor enmity and deep hostility toward traditional American values.

Mr.
Timmerman adds, "This will have a major impact across the region,
potentially leaving U.S. ally Israel isolated to face a massive hostile
alliance armed with nuclear weapons."

America
is in the foreign policy equivalent of a Great Depression. Never in
the whole of our history has one administration presided over such a
rapid and shocking decline in American power and influence on the world
stage.

A
Muslim truck driver, Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel, used his 18-ton truck
as a weapon in Nice, France to kill 86 innocent civilians. In this, he
followed the grisly example of Palestinian Arab terrorists, who have
been committing vehicular murder against Israeli civilians.

The
tragedy of our time is that the scourge of political correctness and
globalism is stifling all reasonable criticism of onerous government and
elitist policies.

Guy
Millière, an independent French journalist, has just written an article
about the rise in France of Islam and of the terror that now stalks the
land.

His
article, titled "First the Saturday People, then the Sunday People,"
reflects an Islamic phrase in which Muslims first attack Jews; then,
when the Jews are gone, they attack Christians. It is what we have been
seeing throughout the Middle East and beyond.

These
threats are growing in urgency right on our very doorstep. Bill Gertz
of the Washington Free Beacon writes that Southern Command has warned
that Sunni Muslim extremists are now infiltrating the U.S. across the
southern border with ease and with the help of alien smugglers in South
America.

Yet
Americans who suggest that we take serious steps to secure our borders
are labeled "deplorable xenophobes" by Hillary Clinton!

Kenneth
Timmerman, Guy Millière and Bill Gertz have all added vital reasons why
we must do all we can to prevent the election of Hillary Clinton, or a
third term of Barack Hussein Obama.

Despite
the weakest economic growth figures since the late 1940s and the lowest
labor participation rates since the late '70s, Obama's approval ratings
still hover in the 50% range thanks to a complicit MSM shilling for the
president. For this same reason, Hillary, or perhaps a stand-in due to
Hillary's health issues, may well defeat Trump eight weeks from now.

The
only aspects of Obama's warped legacy that even eight years of Trump
probably could not fully redress would be the enormous national debt
Obama has run up, the absolutely trashed race relations over which Obama
has presided (and indeed, encouraged), and the Supreme Court's ruling
on the definition of marriage.

Consider
the way Obama has demonstrated a shocking disregard for the public will
and the provisions of our Constitution. Look at how he behaved with
the Iran deal – poll after poll showed that Americans opposed this, and
he knew he'd never get the GOP-led Senate to ratify it. Despite this,
he went ahead anyway, preventing the Senate from playing their role, as
mandated by the Constitution, to advise and consent on the most
important national security-related agreement since the end of the Cold
War.

Look
at how he behaved on the budget, using a compliant media to aid him in
ram-rodding most of what he wanted through
a GOP-majority Congress (e.g., using threats of a government shutdown
that his media stooges would blame on the latter).

Then
there is Obamacare, which the majority of Americans never wanted, but
which rolls on month after disastrous month, leading to skyrocketing
health care costs for most citizens.

Finally,
we are now subject to a politicized DOJ, effectively ordered to
avoid enforcing any laws that would be inconvenient for our de facto
dictator-in-chief, whether these involve historic breaches of national
security by his former secretary of state, voter intimidation, or an
out-of-control IRS that openly targets and harasses political opponents.

Given
Obama's behavior up to now in office, it is hard to imagine that he
would simply accept the fact of Trump taking office – if that is indeed
the outcome of this election.

Obama
may yet manufacture some other sort of crisis – domestic, or foreign or
both – during his final two months of office that will serve as a
pretext for remaining in power indefinitely.

The
U.S. military will then have to step up to the plate and defend the
Constitution, as is their sworn duty. This may sound far-fetched, but
then there is an awful lot Obama has done that, before the fact, would
have also sounded far-fetched.

We can now see the full dimensions of the "fundamental transformation" promised by Obama eight years ago.

Flawed
though he may be, Donald Trump stands out as the very last hope we have
of reversing the abominable course on which Obama has set this great
country.

We must all pray – and work – as best we can for a Trump victory in November.
